Abstract

CNC machines are usually controlled by the computer instructions. These machines are usually used manufacturing sectors. Downtime means the total time of calculating how long the CNC machine is in idle condition. If the downtime of the CNC machine is less, then the machine can be able to produce more components. So the downtime plays an important role in the productions of components. Raspberry pi is a single board computer, which was developed mainly for the educational purposes. This device is usually used as processing unit. The main reason behind the usage of raspberry pi is it is very user friendly and it is available at low cost.
